Pluse every 4mths I get a profit sharing check for about $200 to $300.
Now the company that I would be working for offered me a job on 1st shift 8-4, similar health benifits, and they too have a profit sharing system but pays every 4 weeks. The job is a pretty good job but they offered me $1.50 less than what I am currently making now. And I am not sure as to how big their profit sharing checks, maybe they make up the difference of the $1.50. That is something that I need to find out I know. But is this proffesional to offer someone that much less to come and work for them?

I will say this, there is NOTHING in this world more important than family. No one goes to their death bed saying "I wish I worked more". You have 3 kids and a wife...take it from a guy that lost a daughter and can't have kids, life is precious, enjoy every moment of it. To me, I'd take the pay cut to be with family more. I've had jobs where I worked over 100 hours a week, and they killed me. I have a job where I work about 60-70 hours a week right now, and it's way too much. Your quality of life needs to be there or you'll regret it later. Life is not about money.
